NCT ID NCT07696026
First seen Jul 10, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026
Summary
This study compares how different squat-based warm-ups—isometric holds, dynamic lifts, and with or without electrical muscle stimulation—affect jump height, agility, and shooting speed in healthy male volleyball athletes. Each participant tries five different warm-up protocols in random order, with performance measured before and after. The goal is to see which warm-up best prepares the body for explosive movements.
